English singer-songwriter Tom Odell will perform a concert at A8 Live on Sunday.
He released his debut EP “Songs From Another Love” in 2012 and won the BRITs Critics’ Choice Award in early 2013. His debut studio album “Long Way Down” was issued in 2013. Odell was named Songwriter of the Year at the 2014 Ivor Novello Awards ceremony. His second studio album “Wrong Crowd” was released in 2016. Soon after, he released his Christmas EP “Spending All My Christmas With You.”
Odell grew up listening to Elton John. He also cites David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Arthur Russell, Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell, Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Rodriguez and Bruce Springsteen as influences. He is a fan of Arcade Fire, Adele, James Blake, Cat Power, Blur, Beach House, Radiohead, Coldplay and Ben Folds.
Odell has said his lyrics are inspired by his “inability to sustain a relationship with someone for longer than six months.” He says: “I find that I write much better songs when I’m being honest, and writing about things that happen to me. It can get a little weird though, when friends or girlfriends work out that a song is about them. But it’s amazing what you can get away with it. Artistic license, I think they call it.”
Odell studied at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music playing as part of the band Tom and the Tides before moving to London in 2010. Tom and the Tides recorded the song “Spider” for the Brighton Institute of Modern Music student album “What’s Inside Your Head Vol. 3.”
